Eh. Marketing gimmick.

 

I know not really interested either I'm just bored but what can I say it's 10:00 at night just saw it recently thought of posting it some people will not care some people will like it and go nuts trying to get one once they come out.

 

The Mint loves to exploit collectors trying to maintain a complete set.

 

They haven't quite gotten to the RCM level of garbage. But I think it is only a few more years.

 

What's the latest on that release that is to be limited to 1945 coins?

 

Going on sale early November, forget the exact date.

 

I saw this headline and thought for a moment that someone had received an ASE in change...

 

Just found the release date November 5 at noon for anyone thats interested.

 

The coin will cost around $70 or more they will sell out in less than a minute.

 

Ditto-- thought the same thing

 

Mintage limits:
Privy-marked 1 oz. ASE 75,000
Privy-marked 1 oz. AGE 1,945
24-karat $25 1/2 oz. gold 7,500

 

Nov. 5th is the release date on the Mint website

 

I had an uncle who gave his life at the Battle of the Bulge; my dad served in the China Burma India theater until war's end, too, so I am happy to learn of this marketing gimmick, I'll add it to my WWII memorabilia.

 

Thanks for the info. y'all... Be safe

 

I appreciate their service and sacrifice.

I would rather have seen an actual coin or medal to commemorate the anniversary. A “privy mark” just seems low effort and like I said, more of a marketing gimmick than anything else.

 

There is an actual coin, a half ounce gold piece with a face value of $25.
It will be released November 9th.

I like that. Shame it is out of my price range.

 

Yes, it's beyond me, too. They are offering it as a medal in silver but I'm not much of a medal enthusiast.

 

I haven't purchased any medals from the mint. I liked their "alternate" Lady Liberty designs but I missed out on the first one so decided not to collect them.
